10 Symptoms of Encephalitis
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #7: Tremors
Our muscles are controlled by messages that are sent from the brain. Sometimes these movements are consciously commanded by us, although a lot of the time they are subconscious. Sometimes, if there is a problem with the brain, the messages it sends can be confusing and it can result in erratic body movements.
Our ability to move begins in the brain. Encephalitis can cause damage to the areas of the brain that control our movement resulting in symptoms such as tremors. Muscles can twitch and contract randomly and completely beyond the patient’s control. Such tremors are an indication that something is very wrong with the central nervous system and should be treated as a medical emergency.
